Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark was selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever, as her stardom shifts to professional basketball.
Caitlin Clark, the all-time leading scorer in both men’s and women’s college basketball, has been selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft. There was never a doubt Clark, the Iowa Hawkeyes star for the past four seasons, would be first off the draft board in this highly-talented class. Now, the Fever have Clark and the 2023 first overall pick, center Aliyah Boston, leading the way.
It may not have been the way Clark wanted to end her career, especially after losing the national title game to LSU the season prior, but her contributions to women’s basketball over the past two seasons have been impossible to ignore. The national title game drew 18.7 million viewers to ABC’s coverage with a peak of 24 millions viewers during the game, per ESPN. That’s 89% higher than last season and 285% higher than the 2022 national championship game.
